Theresa Ewing

Theresa Ewing is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Illinois who helps people manage grief, anger, stress, anxiety, and relationship concerns. She also supports those facing life changes, caregiver strain, end-of-life issues, and challenges around parenting and self-esteem. Her tone is practical and goal-focused, and she aims to partner with people to address immediate problems.

Theresa draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools for emotion regulation and building coping skills. Sessions focus on concrete steps people can take between meetings.

Theresa has worked in healthcare settings for over nine years before offering clinical therapy, and she brings that experience to situations involving illness, hospice, and caregiver stress. Her clinical credential is LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

In sessions she helps people make a practical plan and break big goals into smaller steps. That may include skill-building, problem solving, and check-ins on how changes are going. The emphasis is on teamwork and measurable progress.

She works with concerns including depression, ADHD, family-of-origin issues, divorce and separation, isolation and life purpose questions. Her approach aims to be direct, compassionate, and focused on what can change now.

How CBT and DBT Inform Online Care

Theresa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small, concrete behavior changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with self-esteem.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal interactions. DBT tools can be helpful when strong emotions or relationship stress make everyday tasks harder.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Theresa will discuss goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked in the past and then suggest CBT or DBT techniques that fit. The plan is collaborative and can be adjusted as needs change.
